[USS Haldane]

February 5th 2374

USS Haldane

[Mess Hall]

The room was alive with chatter and laughter, from the men of Alpha Nine. They were drinking a toast to their fallen comrade, Lt Gregory Waite and sharing their memories of the man. The Lieutenant had been killed on their most recent operation, that was to destroy a Dominion supply dump on Jeldris IV. It was tradition to drink to a fallen soldier, from ones unit, it was known as a warm down.

CPO James Booth was a man, who barely broke tradition, especially when there was drink involved. He'd know Lt Waite the longest and was feeling his absence, but Jimmy being Jimmy had to maintain his tough guy image and decided not to show his grief. Instead he vented, in this case towards some of the other Advanced Tactical Team members. The man he'd targeted on that day, was another CPO named Brown.

With real alcohol inside him, Booth was very vocal. "You see those Alpha Six douches.......with all of them put together, they'd never be the man the L.T was" Booth gave an evil grin in the direction of Brown, waiting for him to react.

Angela is a civilian Scientist, who works on terra forming. During one of her many projects, she met Donald Merton, who became her second Husband in 2349.
Jimmy's relationship with his Mother was strained, this was due to his inability to get along with his Step Father, who had no interest in raising someone else's child. A fact Angela was seemingly blind to, hence the problems between Mother and Son.
Jimmy didn't excel in his school life, barely passing his exams. However he was very athletic and loved to run and swim, winning trophies at both.
Late teen Life
Upon leaving school in 2362 at the age of 17, he met Alicia Metcalfe. She too had had a bad upbringing and found Jimmy to be a kindred spirit.

His first assignment was Security at Starfleet HQ, the job was mundane, but it meant he could stay on Earth and raise his Son with Alicia.
Jimmy married Alicia in 2364, just before Damon's first birthday.
In 2366 Jimmy held the rank of Petty Officer  2nd Class and was assigned to space duty, on DS3. His intent was to take his Wife and Son with him, however Alicia refused to leave Earth, fearing space was unsafe and opted to bring up their Son on Earth.
Despite regular contact and visiting home as much as he could, Alicia and Jimmy's marriage collapsed and eventually resulted in a divorce in 2369. Jimmy would continue to write to his Son, as often as he could. In the latter part of 2369, with the rank of Chief Petty Officer, Jimmy was selected for advanced tactical training which he passed with flying colours.
By 2375, Jimmy held the rank of Chief Petty Officer and was assigned to Starfleet Covert Operations. There he worked in a specialist team, under the command of Lt Cmdr John Anderson. In that same year whilst on an operation to destroy a Dominion observation post, the team was compromised and John Anderson disappeared.
Booth was captured and interrogated by Dominion Forces for several weeks, before the war came to an end and he was released. However, the damage was done.
In the following months , Jimmy's career began to take a downhill slide. Being late for duty, insubordinate and a general disruptive attitude. In 2376, CPO Booth was dishonourably discharged from the service, for assault on his Commanding Officer.

Post Starfleet

Jimmy spent the first few years in various occupations, including Bodyguard work. He tried to reconcile with Alicia and his Son, but Alicia had moved on with another man. Once again Jimmy was alone and generally drifted from place to place.
